Junior Genius Guides Outer Space by Ken Jennings - Paperback

I loke the illustrations

My nephew is having a room makeover for his birthday and it’s astronaut/space themed!!! I got him this book because I think it’s perfect for him to even put up on his bookshelf and then read and learn all about what his room is going to be designed for!! Has so many cool activities you can do and trivia, definitely a lot of knowledge to learn from this book. Perfect for a pre teen!!!

Great book for a kid to start learning about the stars and planets. Done very like the horrible histories style, making it fun and easy reading for the young!

The book is written in such a way that it really appealed to my almost 8 year old daughter. She loves learning about science, but most space books can't hold her interest for than 15-20 minutes. She couldn't stop reading this one. For several days, this was the only thing she wanted to read. About a month after she finished it, she started reading it again which she only does with books she really loves. He mixes humor, loads of facts about space, and some creative eye opening comparisons that really make this a great read. We read it together and we both learned a lot. It is a very fun and educational book.

I bought this for my grandson last December, partially because I had recently read the story of the author, who is local to the Seattle area. While my grandson didn't seem interested at the time, this past week he told me just finished it and it was the best book he ever read and he asked if I would get him the other 2 books in the series...which, of course, I did immediately. My grandson is turning 10 in a few days.
